A palatial Florida estate with its own canal has just hit the market for an eye-watering price.
For $21.8 million, the breathtaking mansion, aptly named Château Artisan, can be yours.
The nearly 12,700-square-foot home, designed by famed architect Charles Sieger, is inspired by modern French castles.
Tucked away on 13.74 acres in the Redlands, the eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom estate offers potential owners intimate privacy and dreamy nature views.
Carved into the coral rock endemic to South Florida, Château Craftsman looms over a freshwater lake, which serves as a moat.
Located in Redlands, Florida, Château Artisan has its own private moat. The eight-bed, 12-bath estate is for sale for $21.8 million
The castle was designed with geometric unity in mind. Three different paths lead from the house into the water
At the end of the driveway a large wrought iron gate looms
Three paths lead from the estate into the water. One of the paths leads to the gravel driveway and serves as a connection between the house and the rest of the world. Wrought iron gates form a final barrier between the castle and its surroundings.
The other two paths to the house are connected to identical gazebos, where people can relax and enjoy the sparkling waters of the lake.
A geometric symmetry determines the layout of the house. Château Artisan is flanked on both sides by hexagonal courtyards. Fountains ripple in the center of each courtyard.
Immaculately maintained lawns and gardens surround the house, which was built in 2007 and is being sold by Renzo Rossato.
